Smitha Chakravarthula: Haiku

sitting in a crowded
room alone, an
old man	bathing pond -
	swans and ducks
	fight for space
tombstone -
a single red
rosebud	Buried in sand
	a pearl hiding
	in a shell
Dew drops rest
on a lotus petal
sinking

Smitha Chakravarthula is the poetry columnist for Indianest.Com. Her bio on Indianest states:

"To 1980 born Smitha, writing is not just a hobby but a way of life. She lives poetry, breathes poetry and writes poetry. Though she writes other forms too, poetry is her first and lasting love.

Fun loving and vivacious, Smitha has been writing ever since she could hold a pen and her first poem to be published was when she was seven."

Her works can be found in various websites such as poetry.com, lovestories.com, etc. Her poems have been selected for inclusion in several international anthologies.
